WVILLIAM SOHWVABTZ, OF LOUISBURG, KANSAS.

FEED WATER HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,890, dated March 17, 1885.

Application filed June '7, 1884.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM SCHWARTZ, of Louisburg, in the county of Miami and. State of Kansas, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Steam-Boilers and Attachments Therefor, of which the follow-' ing is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of afurnace, showing a boiler part in side elevation and part in vertical section. Fig. 2 is part in end view and part in section of the furnace and boiler, and showing also, part in side view and part in section, a feed-cooking apparatus to which the upper part of the boiler may be connected. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section taken on line 3 3, Fig. 1.

My invention relates to an improvement in steam-boilers and attachments therefor,which will be hereinafter fully described by referring to the drawings.

My invention consists in features of novelty pointed out in the claim.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a furnace of ordinary construction, and B a boiler having series of lines 0 D. The heat and products of combustion pass through the fiurs C from the back to the front end of the boiler and return through the lines D from the front to the back end of the boiler, and thence out through the chimney H, very little heat, however, escaping, as most of it is utilized or taken up by traversing the boiler in both directions, as stated.

To compel the products of combustion and heat to pass through the fiues O and back through the fines D, I locate the chimney or uptake at the back end of the boiler and place a diaphragm, I, across the chamber J between the back end of the boiler and the bridge-wall of the furnace which divides the two series 0 D of the flues, (see Figs. 1 and 2,) and the draft will then draw the products of combustion and heat through both series of flues. At the front end of the boiler is ahood or cover, L, forming a chamber, M, to permit (No model.)

the products of combustion and heat to pass out of one series of fines into the other. (See arrows, Figs. 1 and 2.)

N represents a water-receiver of semi-cylindrical form, located above the boiler in a pocket or recess in the chimney and against the back end of the boiler, as shown in Fig. 1. Connected to it is a water-pipe, O, by which it is fed or supplied, and it may have a checkvalve, P.

S T represent pipes forming communications between the upper part of the boiler and the receiver. By means of the pipe S steam is allowed to enter the receiver to heat the water before it goes to the boiler, and by means of the pipe T hot water is admitted to the boiler from the receiver. All the pipes are supplied with suitable valves.

U represents a vessel in which feed is cooked by steam from the boiler. It has a gudgeon, V, on each side that rests on a frame, so that the vessel can be turned over to empty it. It (the vessel) is connected to the upper part of the boiler by a hose, X, and pipe or tubeY, which discharge steam into the bottom of the vessel. They may communicate with the bottom of the vessel, either through the inside or outside of the vessel, as desired.

I claim as my invention- The semi-cylindrical water-receiver N, in combination with the furnace-chimney having a pocket or recess, horizontal boiler, steampipe, and water-pipe, the receiver fitting in the pocket or recess in the chimney at the back end of the boiler in close proximity to the entrance of the chimney, so as to be heated by the escaping products of combustion at the base of the chimney. the steam-pipe connecting the upper part of the boiler with the upper part of the receiver, and the water-pipe connecting the lower part of the receiver below the upper line of the boiler with the boiler, as set forth.
